Moroccan king names first woman PM
King Mohammed VI of Morocco tasked Fatima Zohra Menasouri, president of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, with forming the new government after her party topped the parliamentary elections with 97 seats out of 395. Menasouri is the first woman to hold the position of head of government in Morocco, a decision officially announced by the king on Tuesday. Forming a government requires securing a majority in the House of Representatives, which necessitates at least 198 seats; consultations are currently underway to form a parliamentary coalition. Menasouri is a prominent figure in Moroccan politics; she previously served as the mayor of Marrakech and has been actively involved in leading her party since its founding in 2008.
